Rapper Ludacris headed to Miami to shoot the video for "Money Maker" with Pharrell Williams on Monday (July 31) and the video will debut a new look for the Disturbing Tha Peace CEO.

Ludacris, born Chris Bridges, has cut off his trademark braids and afro for a shorter haircut.

According to the rapper, who is preparing his new album Release Therapy, the time had come for a new look.

"Release Therapy marks a new phase in my life," said Ludacris. "I'm very excited to move forward and try new things. Life is all about change and this album will hopefully reflect some of my growth as an artist and a person. With that said, it only makes sense that I 'shake things up' and try something different. Who knows what I'll come up with next?"

The video for "Money Maker" will debut on MTV in the fall.

While his girlfriend, Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie, performs in Bejing, Josh Duhamel spent a day frolicking at his poool in LA, with a group of friends, including a gorgeous blone.

The 33 -year old Las Vegas star, who has been dating Fergie, 31 since she made a guest appearance on his TV show in September 2004, took advantage of the 100-degree heat by cooling down with a scantily clad beauty. "She is my buddy's girlfriend," Josh explains to In Touch. "He was there too."

ORIGINAL Destiny's Child member LeToya Luckett, 25, is releasing an album, LeToya, seven years after being sacked.

It includes efforts from Jermaine Dupri, the man behind Janet Jackson's new record and Scott Storch, who's worked on Paris Hilton's album.

Pamela Anderson and her new husband Kid Rock looked shattered when they landed at Heathrow airport after tying the knot in St Tropez. And its not hard to work out why. The kinky couple counted down the final hours of their fun in the sun and made the most of it. Pamela, 39, married the 35-year-old singer on a yacht on Saturday, celebrating in a white bikini.

Which 80s pop star was left red-faced after being turned away from Pete Tong's Pure Pacha night in Ibiza? The sun-kissed queen flew into a full-on rant when the door staff told her she too drunk to stand and she even tried punching the guest list guy. Seemingly those London-based AA meetings aren't working then.

Beyonce Knowles wouldn't pose with an alligator for her new album cover unless its mouth was taped shut.

The 24-year-old said: "They got one 13 feet long. I said 'No thank you', but I did hold a baby one. It had its mouth taped - that was my idea."

THERE was more free-flowing bolly at the Cartier Polo Day after-party than we could believe, whilst a room full of ra-ra luvvies got sloshed and had a hoot. Actress Amy Nuttall, 23, was all giggles and gorgeous in green as she found her own source of horse-play. And it's no wonder revellers were wild at the evening event in London's Chinawhite VIP Marquee, Great Windsor Park.

Model Jodie Kidd, 27, was one of many who started partying early and enjoyed a liquid lunch. But Arsenal midfielder Freddie Ljungberg, 29, let the side down with his bottle of water and sensible behaviour.
